Fans Can Now Vote For Zac Brown Band As ACM's Entertainer Of The Year

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Zac Brown Band, winner of the 2010 Best New Artist Grammy, heads out on tour with one goal: "We want to blow fans away every time," says front man Zac Brown. And following the band's latest addition of an "eat-and-greet" pre-show ritual, where they invite fans to join them while dining on southern-cuisine specialties created by Zac himself, it's no surprise they've been nominated for the Academy of Country Music's fan-voted Entertainer of the Year award.
